- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Additions:
- 2 cups M&M candies

Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.

- Shape and Bake: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough, roll into balls, and place on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown.
- Cool and Enjoy: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For chewier cookies, slightly underbake them and let them set on the baking sheet for a few minutes post-baking.
- Experiment with mini M&M candies or different chocolate chips for variation.
- Try adding chopped nuts for extra texture.
